MANUSCRIPT BIBLIOGRAPHIES IN 



CHEMISTRY AND CHEMICAL 



TECHNOLOGY 



Compiled by Clarence J. West and Callie Hull 



There exist many unpublished, or manuscript, bibliographies 

 for scientific subjects which, if known and made available to 

 investigators, would be effectively utilized. In view of this fact 

 the Research Information Service, in cooperation with the 

 Divisions of Science and Technology of the National Research 

 Council, has undertaken to compile lists of manuscript bibli- 

 ographies in the mathematical, physical, and biological sciences. 

 A list for geology and geography has already been published 

 as No. 27 in the Council's Reprint and Circular Series. 1 



The list presented for chemistry and chemical technology, 

 although incomplete, should prove useful. It is hoped that it 

 may also encourage those who possess unpublished bibliographies, 

 as well as those who are in need of bibliographic lists, to cooperate 

 with the Research Information Service by reporting their bibli- 

 ographies and by inquiring as to the existence and availability 

 of lists before undertaking independent compilation. 



The fact that the information concerning each bibliography 

 included in this list period covered, method of entry and ap- 

 proximate completeness is taken directly from the reports 

 supplied to the Research Information Service, accounts for the 

 incompleteness of the data in certain cases and for the evaluation 

 of materials. 



The Research Information Service is prepared to serve as a 

 clearing house in connection with scientific and technological 

 bibliographies. Those who prefer, however, may correspond 

 directly with the compiler of any given bibliography and, unless 

 otherwise indicated, may assume that the compilers listed have 

 indicated willingness to have their material consulted or dupli- 

 cated. Ordinarily a copy of any bibliography may be obtained 

 for the actual cost of duplication. 



The Research Information Service will welcome corrections 

 or additions to this list and suggestions concerning the further 

 development of a bibliographic exchange. 



1 Dr. H. P. Little has kindly consented to the incorporation into the 

 present list, of material of chemical value contained in his list.
